Home-based Self-exercise in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Feasibility Study

Home-based Self-exercise in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Feasibility Study

This study aims to test whether patients with Parkinson's disease can safely and effectively use a home-based exercise program guided by videos. Participants will follow video instructions for exercises at home while their movements are monitored by a camera, which provides real-time feedback. The study will check how well participants complete the exercises, their satisfaction with the program, and any changes in clinical function. The goal is to see if this type of home exercise can help patients increase their activity levels without significant side effects.
